Chapter 224 Guests (14)

9:20 am.

Akikawa Sosuke and Itakura Misaki took the train to the Tokyo International Exhibition Center in Koto Ward.

There are still three days until the exhibition officially opens.

As a guest of the exhibition, Akikawa Sosuke came here early to meet the guests who would participate in the interview in this exhibition.

During the interviews at this exhibition, Akikawa Sosuke served more as a background board.

Therefore, he does not need to rehearse more than half a month in advance like the main guests and hosts.

There is no need to memorize a lot of lengthy professional knowledge.

He only needs to arrive at the site three days before the exhibition officially starts, familiarize himself with the specific interview process, and maintain his persona according to the arrangement.

Itakura Misaki brought Akikawa Sousuke into the international exhibition hall.

We arrived at the meeting place arranged by the organizer in advance.

In order to make her artist give others a good impression, Itakura Misaki brought Akikawa Sousuke to the work site more than half an hour in advance.

She took Akikawa Sosuke to greet the organizers and introduce them to each other.

Then, before leaving, he solemnly instructed Akikawa Sosuke:

"Mr. Akikawa, although this job can be said to be completely out of the entertainment industry, you must remember to maintain your image."

"Also, I heard that Mr. Tsukino Takashi, the new department head of the Tsukino Foundation, will also participate in the interview as a guest."

"The Tsukino Group is the organizer of this exhibition, and Mr. Tsukino Takashi is the future successor to the Tsukino Group, so you must not offend him!"

"it is good."

Akikawa Sosuke responded to Itakura Misaki's instructions with extremely brief words.

After giving her instructions, Itakura Misaki left the Tokyo Big Sight.

After a while, a staff member came over and handed a picture album to Akikawa Sosuke.

"Mr. Akikawa, here are pictures and introductions of all the exhibits in this exhibition."

"Please note that the contents of the exhibits marked with red [Confidential] on the first few pages must be kept strictly confidential."

“It must not be disclosed to anyone before the final exhibit is announced.”

Seeing Akikawa Sosuke nod in agreement, the staff member continued to add:
"The gathering time is 10 a.m., and the other guests should be here in a while."

"You can just take a look at the atlas to get a general idea of ​​the contents of this exhibition."

After the staff finished their instructions and left, Akikawa Sosuke reached out and opened the album on the table.

The first exhibit in the album is a ruby ​​called [Scarlet Shadow Heart].

Judging by the reference objects in the photo, this gem is about half the size of an egg.

The cutting of this gem appears to be extremely sophisticated, and its weight is probably tens of carats.

The outer edge of the gemstone is deep red, gradually transitioning to a halo with purple hues towards the center.

The color forms a natural gradient from the outside to the inside, showing a rich sense of layering.

Through the smooth and transparent surface of the gemstone, you can clearly capture the naturally formed fire effect inside it.

Even the still photos in the album show how it glows like a fire under the light.

Needless to say, this is definitely the most important exhibit of this exhibition as described by Misaki Itakura.

It was also one of the collections that the staff just asked Akikawa Sosuke to keep confidential.

"I was just told verbally not to leak the information, but I was not asked to sign a confidentiality agreement or anything like that."

"It seems that the official launch is approaching, and this gem will be unveiled soon." Akikawa Sorasuke stared at the gem in the album, which was obviously worth a lot of money, and thought to himself.

At this moment, the door of his room was pushed open again.

Akikawa Sosuke looked up.

Then I saw a young woman who was wearing rimless glasses, looked very artistic, and was about college age, walked in.

After she entered the room, she quickly noticed Akikawa Sosuke who was looking at her.

An expression of confusion and surprise appeared on her beautiful and intellectual face.

Akikawa Sosuke stood up and introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Akikawa Sosuke, an artist from Wonderful. I'm here as a guest for the rehearsal."

"Oh, oh! So that's how it is!"

"My name is Seto Rin. I'm a junior at Sophia University, majoring in art history, and I'm a guest at this exhibition."

A student named Seto Rin also introduced himself to Akikawa Sousuke.

“It seems that the Tsukino Foundation has really selected guests from all walks of life this time. I hope this exhibition can attract more people to become interested in art history.”

Perhaps because she also noticed that Akikawa Sosuke was about the same age as herself, Seto Rin started talking to Akikawa Sosuke in a very familiar manner.

She saw that Akikawa Sosuke had opened the atlas to the Scarlet Shadow Heart page, so she continued:
"Mr. Akikawa was also attracted by this gem."

“Although I haven’t seen the real thing yet, I’m sure it must be much more beautiful than the photo!”

“It’s incredible that such beautiful gems are naturally formed in the world, isn’t it?”

"Indeed, it's quite impressive."

Akikawa Sosuke sighed out loud.

Just as Akigawa Sosuke was chatting with Seto Rin, the door of the room was pushed open again.

Then a woman who was less than thirty years old came in.

Although Akikawa Sosuke didn't know the other person.

But just by looking at the professional suit and smart look he was wearing, I could guess that he was the host of this exhibition interview.

And Seto Rin's subsequent introduction also proved that Akikawa Sousuke's speculation was correct.

"Her name is Nakamura Haruna, and she is the host of this interview event."

"Ms. Nakamura is a host who specializes in hosting programs and events related to history and the arts, so she is very professional."

Afterwards, those guests who had participated in the rehearsal in advance also arrived at the rehearsal site one after another.

Through the self-introductions to each other later.

Akikawa Sosuke also knew the name and identity of the next guest——

As the main guest of this exhibition interview event, old professor Kenichi Matsumoto is quite knowledgeable about the history of the Showa period and various historical and cultural heritages.

The hour hand gradually pointed to ten o'clock.

The last guest finally arrived at the venue.

This is a handsome man with striking short golden hair, a healthy wheat-colored complexion, and a very handsome appearance.

Through Seto Rin's introduction, Akikawa Sousuke also learned the other party's identity.

Toru Amuro.

——A man with many years of work experience in a luxury jewelry store in Ginza, Tokyo.
